Hailing from Saint-Boniface, Manitoba, left-winger Marcel Dheere’s rights were sold to the Canadiens by the Pacific Hockey League’s Portland’s Buckaroos on Dec. 25, 1940. In his only stint in the NHL, Dheere played 16 games with the Canadiens – five of them coming in the playoffs – during the team’s 1942-43 campaign, recording one goal and two assists.
